Turn Hibernation off and remove hiberfil.sys

Use the command POWERCFG to delete the hiberfile.sys file. This can be handy when a corrupt hibernation file disables the
Windows PC to resume from its hibernation. Just use the (administrative) command to stop the hibernation settings:

powercfg -hibernate off

This will also delete the file hiberfil.sys.
When you turn hibernation on again the file hiberfil.sys will be created again.

powercfg -hibernate on

Please remember that hiberfil.sys is a hidden system file and is not visible in Windows Explorer
by default.
